    IAG looses more that credibility. They loose future customers who have Google and are members here.

    Second, I dont use brokers. I can turn a wrench and know how to inspect paint and use a laser level. The rest, I use a qualified shop to provide an in-depth PPI.

    The long term route would have been to offer a refund.

    IAG has been around for years. Mcdonalds might be the biggest restaurant, but they dont sell the best food.

    I wouldn't say they've lost credibility. They produced detailed documents, and an overview of the situation, which they took some blame on the communication front. Which lets be honest, anyone here who runs a business has had. It's impossible to make every customer happy.


    I've never purchased a car directly from, but have bought a car from someone who got it from them. Nothing but positive praises from that chap.

    These guys are BAD!!
    I was close to pull the trigger on a 308 they offered for sale. Piece of junk... the car as well as Artie or Stu. Watch out!

    They show as permanently closed. How did you end up doing business with them?

    Apparently they operate now with a new name:
    Great Dane Motorsports
    500 South Dixie Hwy East
    Pompano Beach, Florida 33060

    Gladly no business was done! They posted two Ferrari 308 on Ebay and Craigslist. The cars supposed to be in excellent condition. They did not even start!! I booked a flight and a rental car to look at the 308, VIN ZFFUA13A4F0058065. That place is a big mess!

    Worst experience I ever made.

    I googled their phone and number. They are well known... in a bad way. Even found a lawsuit from 2016.

    Wow!!
    BIDDERS BE AWARE! When I looked at the car in December they said it had the belt service already done, as also stated on their CL ad. Now they are saying it was done in January. NOTHING worked on the car, no lights, no windows, no fan, it wouldn't even start!
    I don't recommend to buy without inspecting it.

    Weird right? That would align w “IAG”. But they’re out of business. Or changed names.

    I dunno. Terrible ad tho without enough photos. That auction needs at least 75 more pics and a video or two

    Mike you should jump in and comment esp since you’ve seen it. I think the CL ad referred to the other service, not belt, that is quoted in the BaT ad. Unless they specifically told you the belts were done in Dec? If that’s the case...

    The receipts in the listing show “Great Dane Auto.” I predict RNM on this one.

    Thanks for posting as I was looking at this one on BAT. I am new to Ferrari. I currently own an 85 911 Targa and an 86 Defender 110. I'm looking to purchase a 308 as an investment/weekend driver. I've read a few of these forum noobie guides to 308's. Has anybody worked with Beverly Hills Car Club? They have a couple listed from $39k to $55k. Just looking for anyone's input on this seller and maybe these cars if they have personally seen them. Thanks!

    There's a reason BHCC prices are so low, and some should be lower.

    Was looking at a 308 dry sump car being sold by Great Dane, aka Arthur Artie Siegel, aka Stuart Siegel. Car allegedly just had a PPI by Tim Stanford Foreign Cars in FLL with all issues addressed. Price seems right, but guess I should stay away from the sounds of it.

    This would be my first Ferrari, so guess that makes me an easy mark.

    Regards.
